The Allen School has 7 peer advisers who can talk with students about planning for the major and CSE admissions, course planning, internship prep, connecting with research, and generally being a successful student.  Peer advisers can talk about CSE courses, getting started with research or teaching, landing internships, getting involved with the Allen School or in the UW, and so much more. Meet them here: https://www.cs.washington.edu/academics/ugrad/peeradvising

There are many ways you can contact a peer adviser to have your questions answered:

CSE Reception Desk: Throughout the quarter we will have peer advisers working at the CSE reception desk. Peer advisers are happy to chat with you during their front desk shifts so feel free to walk up and ask them questions! You’ll know if a peer adviser on duty by seeing a sign off to the right when you first approach the front desk.

Quick Question Advising Sessions: Peer advisers will be available during Quick Question advising sessions and you can request to meet with one when you sign in at the front desk. Hours for these sessions are listed on the CSE Undergraduate Calendar.

Email: The peer advisers can be contacted via email for questions, feedback, and advice. They can be reached at peeradvisor@cs.uw.edu.

Our very own professor Su-In Lee, who works on novel machine learning techniques for biology and precision medicine, has been selected to deliver a prestigious New Investigator Lecture by UW Medicine next Wednesday, 10/31. Su-In will talk about her efforts to develop explainable artificial intelligence for a wide range of applications, including treating cancer based on a patient’s own molecular profile, finding a cure for Alzheimer’s, predicting kidney disease, preventing complications during surgery, and improving our understanding of pan-cancer biology and genome biology.  Su-In’s work with grad student Scott Lundberg was just featured on the cover of the most recent issue of Nature Biomedical Engineering, which included their paper on explainable machine learning system, Prescience, for preventing hypoxemia in patients under general anesthesia. Earlier this year, she and recent grad Safiye Celik published their work on MERGE, which uses machine learning to enable targeted treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, in Nature Communications.
